Beginning June 1 through September 1, Republic Service’s residential trash collection schedule will start one hour earlier at 6 a.m.

This change is to protect the health and safety of the essential employees performing this important work during the brutal heat of our Texas summers. Often these employees are working eight to nine hours in 100+ degree weather, and we are grateful for their continued service to our citizens. Please help them by ensuring that your trash is out for collection the evening before or no later than 5:30 a.m. on your collection days.

Fire lanes are designated to provide unobstructed access for emergency vehicles during emergencies. These lanes are marked by two red stripes and the words FIRE LANE – NO PARKING.
Parking in a fire lane restricts access for emergency responders, creates a public safety hazard, and constitutes a violation of the law. Violators may be subject to a fine of up to $1,000.
Please help ensure public safety by keeping all fire lanes clear at all times.
